Evidence-Based Spirituality: A New Frontier of Science

Evidence-Based Spirituality: A New Frontier of Science presents a bold and integrative approach to understanding spirituality through the lens of empirical research and scientific reasoning. Dr. Otumdi Omekara challenges the long-held belief that spirituality and science are incompatible by offering a comprehensive framework that places spiritual experience within the domain of legitimate scientific inquiry. The book explores how spiritual phenomena, such as prayer, meditation, near-death experiences, and consciousness, can be studied using methodologies from neuroscience, psychology, physics, and systems theory. By drawing from peer-reviewed studies, case reports, and global spiritual traditions, the author demonstrates that spirituality is not merely a private or subjective domain but a measurable, impactful aspect of human life with profound physiological and psychological effects.
